> I was thinking of a case where users want to match strings against a predefined regex, using automata classes from Lucene. We shouldn't do it, really. I know it's tempting but adding code for potential benefits outside of the Lucene codebase leads to maintenance problems, increases test times (or adds untested code)... Lucene's purpose is information retrieval, it's not a general-purpose regexp library. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
